Patience in the Wait

January 5, 2023 by prayer Leave a Comment

Sitting on the railing of a bridge along the Saigon River fishing as the high tide brings in opportunities of fish up the river from the coast, this fisherman sits patiently and readily for a catch.

The New Testament tells us stories of how Jesus patiently trained the disciples. Even after miracles and proclamations of being the Son of God, the disciples were often confused as to who Jesus was. Today we think of the disciples as being mature men of faith, but Jesus was still trying to teach them how to persevere in prayer up until He was taken in the garden.

Whatever the task is that God has called us to, we need to continue doing the work even if we don’t see the progress we would like to see.

“…For who hopes for what he sees? But, if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.” Romans 8:24b-25

Thank God for His patience with us. Ask the Holy Spirit graciously to reward us in patience and perseverance for all His people.

A barber on the sidewalk of Saigon offering free h A barber on the sidewalk of Saigon offering free haircuts---what could be a better bargain.

Sometimes God surprises us with a free item or extra service and we are pleased and happy; but do we consider that a gift and blessing from Him? All good gifts are from Him. We live in a dark world that offers imitation for the real thing or takes something away from us and hurts us. When something good happens in our lives, give God credit. It will transform your thankful heart and honor Him.

“Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.” James 1:17

Give thanks for the good things in your life today. Ask God for His rich mercies towards the people of Vietnam so that they too would join in praise to Him because He deserves it. #pray4vietnam

Saigon is well-known for its tangled web of electr Saigon is well-known for its tangled web of electrical lines. Though in some parts of the city, they are being placed underground, there are far more lines like these above ground than below. It's not uncommon for electrical outages in different parts of the city, but these days it seems less and less.

How many times because of weather events has the loss of power been in the news where you live?

We live by power in our lives. As Believers, we are connected to the Holy Spirit because of His indwelling at the time of salvation but choosing to live by worldly principles only quenches the power of the Holy Spirit.

God has called us to be filled with joy and thankfulness. He wants us to submerge every inch of our lives in His overcoming power.

God, make all of my life fully surrendered to You. Forgive me when I trust in myself and the world and with a repentant and thankful heart, let my actions show the power of the Holy Spirit. All credit and glory to You---amen.

Ask God to remind Vietnamese believers of His faithfulness and let them experience His power in their lives. #pray4vietnam

Friends sharing in our lives are something to be t Friends sharing in our lives are something to be thankful for. Greenery and benches to stop a moment along Hoang Sa street canal bring enjoyable get-togethers.

Who are all the people you are praying for in your life right now? Encourage them by letting them know they are in your heart and prayers, as Paul the Apostle encouraged Timothy: "I thank God for you---the God I serve with a clear conscience, just as my ancestors did. Night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers." 2 Timothy 1:3

We live in a broken world where everything calls us towards selfishness and despair. We need to pray for one another and especially thank God for providing us with friends.

Pray for believers who share their testimony of God's faithfulness with their friends. Pray for Oanh who gave testimony this past Sunday and many to look to God and be thankful. #pray4vietnam

Our families and children bring happiness into our Our families and children bring happiness into our lives and we give thanks for the joy of family life. A mom drops off her elementary-age son at the start of the day. Most all students wear a simple school uniform to help level off those socio-economic levels that might otherwise isolate children without proper clothes. The day can start early for some students as they head to school as early as 7 am.

“Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from Him.” Psalm 127:3

“Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.” James 1:17

Almighty God, thank You that You have made our children in Your image. Your Spirit has made them, and Your breath gives them life. They are Your handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which You prepared in advance for them to do. You have plans for their welfare, Father, to give them a future and a hope. Thank You Lord for Your steadfast love and Your wondrous works.

Pray for the children of Vietnam to have believing parents and follow Jesus. #pray4vietnam

Vietnamese are out early in the morning to exercis Vietnamese are out early in the morning to exercise. Gyms and fitness classes are available, but most Vietnamese will be out walking and joining groups outdoors to move and be healthy.

Our health is something to give thanks to God about.

“For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible.” Colossians 1:16a

“Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things, and by Your will they existed and were created.” Revelation 4:11

Give God thanks for your health and acknowledge Him as Creator of all things, giving Him credit and honor.

Pray for Vietnamese to acknowledge Him as Creator Lord of all the earth in what they see daily and in their lives. #pray4vietnam

In the south of Vietnam, it is said there are two In the south of Vietnam, it is said there are two seasons, hot and dry and hot and wet. As November begins the rains are slacking off and a new season of more dry weather will start.

When we see God speak about seasons it usually refers to agricultural activities of planting, growing, and harvesting.

"then He will send the rains in their proper seasons---the early and late rains--- so you can bring in your harvest of grain, new wine and olive oil." Deuteronomy 11:14

Seasons are also used to describe the lives of God's people.

"They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do." Psalm 1:3

God's Word provides assurance for the seasons of our lives as they change and transition. Think about these, acknowledge Him and give Him praise.

"You made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to set." Psalm 104:19

"And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9

God is sovereign and faithful.

Pray for Vietnamese to be thankful for God's faithfulness. #pray4vietnam

“But the time is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is seeking such people to worship Him.” John 4:23

Pray for the people of Vietnam to know the One True God and worship Him in spirit and truth. #pray4vietnam

Vietnam is the 6th largest producer of coconuts in Vietnam is the 6th largest producer of coconuts in the world. Buying a fresh coconut to drink is such a common thirst quencher and convenient to purchase. A green outer layer reveals a young, off-white husk easily sliced at the top to get to the coconut water to drink. This entrepreneur digs even further for the soft coconut meat on a hot summer day.

“God blesses those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.” Matthew 5:6

Do we have in our mind what it means to hunger and thirst? To want something so desperately to quell the pains of our stomach or mouth?

Seeking to be righteous means being right with God. It means living in a way that is pleasing to Him and that honors Him.

Lift a prayer right now to God that you might hunger and thirst for Him and also ask that He be victorious in Vietnamese lives that are seduced by worldly things and find satisfaction in Him alone. #pray4vietnam
